2012 Year in Pictures

Christmas 2012

(Mason really likes to 'decorate' the tree, which is why all the ornaments are on the top half of the tree)

There must have been some sort of mix up at the North Pole, because for Christmas Mason got an ear infection and two bottles of antibiotics, we think he also were teething, so needless to say he wasn't exactly spreading Christmas cheer.  

After a trip to the doctor, we headed to Joplin to celebrate Christmas Eve with Nanny and Poppy Snyder, along with Brad, Gala, Noah, Addi, Lincoln and Hendrix Moss.  Even though Mason didn't feel great, he enjoyed opening presents and really enjoyed the steak filets that Poppy grilled for dinner.  

Christmas morning, Mason was up very early (like around 3:30 am).  Richard woke up with him and said he kept asking to open presents.  After an hour, Mason went back to sleep and slept in until 9:00 am (Merry Christmas to Mom!).  When Mason woke up, he still didn't feel very well, but was very interested in the loot Santa left under the tree.  Some of his favorites were a kid friendly laptop computer and a remote control Jeep.  

After celebrating Christmas at our house we headed down to Grandma and Grandpa Gillispie's house.  Even though Mase still didn't feel good, he was very excited to play with Jackson and see Uncle Josh and Aunt Paula.  GG and G'pa gave you a Furby and Mason loved shaking it to wake him up and feeding it from the iPad app.  

Mason loves going to Bass Pro to ride the Christmas carousel and seeing the fish, turtles and the alligator.  As you can see, someone couldn't put their candy cane down long enough to take a picture.   

Well, Mason hasn't exactly made friends with Santa yet.  

Pretty sure Santa would have rather have Mason or Mom sitting on his lap, instead of Dad.   

 Christmas at Silver Dollar City!  Mason loved the lights and riding on the train.  He also really liked seeing Uncle Josh blow glass in the glass shop.  

Merry Christmas from the Moss family!
